New York State Record Setting Powerball Drawing

This weekend, you have a chance to enter the record books in New York State.

All you have to do is buy a Powerball ticket, match all six numbers, and claim the $486 million dollar grand prize jackpot.

Simple right?

Saturday's Powerball jackpot has grown to $486 million dollars and that would be the largest lottery jackpot win ever in New York State if someone in the "Empire State" where to claim the grand prize.

The $486 million jackpot is $10 million dollar more than the current New York State record for largest lottery jackpot.

Mega Millions Drawing New York State

Tonight you can buy a ticket for the Mega Millions drawing. Earlier this week, we had a couple of "Big Money" winning tickets sold in New York from the Mega Millions.

While you won't set any records if you win tonight's Mega Millions, you will still feel pretty good and become a very rich person. The jackpot for tonight's Mega Millions is up to $166 million dollars.

That jackpot wouldn't make you a record setter, but that jackpot would be in the Top 10 for largest lottery wins in New York State.
